Acne.org Products
Have you tried the regimen from this site? The way they suggest to use BP actually works and did work for me after 4 months use but i had to stop due to eczema. Some people also suggest doing an elimination diet or a food allergy test to see what your body is sensitive to.
You're still in your teenage phase so its not unusual to have acne like yours. Get off the antibiotics as they are bad for your general health. Have you tried a retinoid?
There are options out there but its a very tedious trial and error process
I agree with leelowe that you should consider trying the regimen. Or at least try regular daily use of BP. My son likes LaRoche Posay Effaclar Duo and he's 17. The thing that makes the most difference for him though is diet. I know it's hard to eat well when you're a teenager, but try to cut out high sugars/carbs, possibly dairy too. If my son eats a pretty clean diet his skin looks good. When he eats a lot of candy, pizza, etc. he is guaranteed to break out in 3-4 new pimples. It really makes a big difference.

I've tried several different brands of BP in the past and none have done anything for me (if anything it just made things worse) so now I just tend to avoid any form of it. But the longest I've ever stuck with it was just over a month, do you guys think that's long enough to notice results, or should I give BP another shot for a longer amount of continuous time? And I've cut dairy out of my diet mostly, but I do consume A LOT of carbs in the day so I'll try to cut back on those too. I'll also see about giving retinoids a shot, THANKS GUYS!
Have you tried no dairy & low gi foods only?
If you really have tried everything maybe accutane is the next option. Although I strongly recommend trying to treat naturally before going onto this strong drug.
I've mainly cut dairy out of my life, I only ever consume tiny amounts of it here and there, but cutting out dairy barely helped in my case, nothing too noticeable changed about my acne after cutting it out. And I was thinking about asking my derm about Accutane, but to me that will be the final plan if nothing else works out for me
